Paradigm Establishes $1.1M Employee Relief Fund After Layoffs, Lawsuit
Two weeks after implementing layoffs and paycuts in a companywide call and five days after former Paradigm agent Debbee Klein filed a $2 million wrongful termination suit against the agency, chairman and CEO Sam Gores has addressed his employees again.In a letter sent agency-wide on Monday night, Gores did not directly mention the pending litigation, which accused him of leaving the laid-off staff high and dry in economically strained times, but unveiled a number of measures that seemed to address that criticism."The vital and significant actions we took, though necessary for the health of the company, were hard and painful," Gores wrote, calling them the toughest of his 37-year career.
